Having thus laid the foundation for the relationship between institutions and organizations, Scott proceeds by formulating two major frameworks. This discus- sion leads to an analysis of notions of social and political legitimacy, ending with a discussion of the basic assumption associated with each of the three pillars. Taking a point of departure in these frameworks, the book digs deeper into the construction of institutions as well as processes of institutionali- zation and de-institutionalization.
This laid the foundation for other institutional scholars such as DiMaggio and Powell as well as for Fligstein and McAdam , This book is indeed awesome in its command of the historical as well as contemporary theoretical intricacies behind institutional theory.
Its rich insights into the complexities between institutions and human agency are multifaceted and very intellectually stimulating. This intricate relationship points towards a strong cross-disciplinary practice, where international business scholars engage anthropologists, sociologists, psychologists as well as other disciplines from the humanities and social sciences in their work.
The book offers readers a thought-provoking discussion of the rela- tionship between institutions and organizations and how this impacts studies of the emergence of agency-driven strategies based on creative ideas, changing interests and multilayered identities.
Perhaps one of the greatest contributions of the book, however, is that it pays homage to a holistic approach in international business studies, thus identifying the way forward for the next generation of theoretical enquiries in this area.
This reviewer can recommend this book in the strongest terms possible. It provides a highly rewarding and provocative journey into new roads within international business studies as well as within social science in general.
